He has been painting professionally for over thirty years and has participated in 27 art exhibitions throughout Canada. His art works may be found in over 60 public, corporate and private collections in Canada, the United States, Ireland, Germany and Switzerland. Burlesque was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in American theatre from the 1930's until the late 1950's. It is currently experiencing a well deserved revival. Dennis’ research introduced him to many current and former burlesque performers.Many have worked with the biggest names in Hollywood.
